We awoke to clear skies and a warm, westerly breeze. Before breakfast, we grabbed our yoga mats and headed out to find Barefoot Dave’s yoga class which was to be held poolside at 8:30 am. It was a wonderful way to begin our day. When the class was over at 10:30 am, we walked to Mark and Diane’s boat to pick up the cell phone and other items we had left last night. Diane was already off and running, so we found our way back to the yacht club and checked out the facilities. We located the laundry, the Captain’s Lounge, the locker rooms with showers, saunas and steam rooms, the fitness room, the restaurants and the “south” pool. We were very happy with what we saw and looked forward to using all the amenities provided.
It was nearly noon by the time we returned to our boat. We had a little lunch and relaxed for a time. While checking our email, we saw that our friends, Don and Ally, s/v Ally’s Cat, were online. Maureen sent a quick email to let them know where we were and to tell them about our upcoming adventure through the Panama Canal. Alice responded right away and we learned that Ally’s Cat had hit a reef off the coast of Belize on their way back from Guatemala and sunk! We were glad to hear that they were home and safe but sad they lost their boat. They had already decided that this was going to be their last big cruise as they had been cruising for nine years and wanted to buy a motorhome to tour the country – they just hadn’t planned on going out quite like that!
We met Mark and Diane along with the Jones family for dinner at Wahoo’s. Mark had brought their Mason City neighbor, Ann Jones and her three kids, Alex, Hannah and Tanner, with him on his airplane today. They had been invited to spend a few days on Adventure with the Holts.
